Dr. Schliep's research explores modifiable factors affecting female endocrinology and reproductive health, with emphasis on endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Her work investigates how these conditions relate to long-term risks like Alzheimer's disease and dementia, aiming to inform personalized interventions across women's lifespans.
Recent publications demonstrate a focus on epidemiological methods applied to reproductive health (2024: AI analysis of endometriosis pain; 2023: cannabis-exposure and gestational diabetes link; 2022: PCOS-depression associations). Key trends include intergenerational health impacts, epigenetic modifications, and menstrual cycle biomarkers.
